I'd Like to File a Complaint...

1. My shampoo bottle exploded within my suitcase and made very many possessions sticky and soapy, including my digital camera. Which is now broken.

2. High heels were really mean to my toes today. I have blisters. I never get blisters from my heels. What did I ever do to you, heels? It wasn't my fault that my shampoo exploded all over you.

3. Planes are stupid. Stupid, stupid, stupid. For once, I'd like to have a nice, relaxing flight with lots of leg room, a deeply reclining chair, cashmere blanket, glass of wine, eye mask, down pillow, no annoying neighbors anywhere near me. Is that too much to ask for? Yes, yes it is.

4. The price of flights is ridiculous. I mean, I SHOULD get all of the above for the dough I'm rolling out! And to top it all off I bought TWO plane tickets today, accidentally. It was my fault. No, no. Let's blame travelocity.com. They were not clear enough as to the DESTINATION of my flight. Instead of buying a flight to Burbank, I bought the one to LAX. I was deciding between both, and I chose the former. But bought the latter. Luckily I canceled it in time, but the nice man from India whom I spoke to told me that I would get my money back in 30 BUSINESS DAYS. I'm crossing my fingers it's sooner rather than later.

5. I ate quite a lot this weekend when I went home... Because I can't say no to sushi, Mexican food, In & Out Burgers, the Habit, turkey, pie, pasta, tri-tip bbq. Because it all tastes SO GOOD. But now I'm feeling like a professional fatty. And I have to live with the shame that I dream about eating good food all day long... If it were scientifically possible for me to not get full and not gain weight, I would eat all day long, just to taste all of the wonderful flavors out there.

Thank you for letting me get those off my chest. It's been a borderline: lousy day.
